There is something incredibly comforting about a jar of homemade honey almond granola sitting on your kitchen counter. It smells warm, a little sweet, slightly nutty, and instantly makes your kitchen feel like a cozy bakery.

Once you make granola at home, it’s really hard to go back to store-bought. Not only is it more affordable, but you can control exactly what goes into it — and tailor it to your family’s tastes.

This homemade honey almond granola recipe is one of my favorites because it is simple, flexible, and makes a big batch. It’s perfect for sprinkling over my 3-ingredient yogurt, pouring into a bowl with milk, or grabbing by the handful for a quick on-the-go granola pouch snack. Another great way I use it is in this summer berry parfait.

Ingredients for Honey Almond Granola

• 6 cups rolled oats
• 1 ½ cups sliced almonds
• 2 cups shredded coconut (optional)
• 1 ½ tablespoons cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon salt
• ¾ cup oil (any neutral oil works — vegetable, canola, coconut oil, or avocado oil)
• 1 cup honey

How to Make Homemade Honey Almond Granola

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two if needed) with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a very large bowl, combine:

• Rolled oats
• Sliced almonds
• Coconut (if using)
• Cinnamon
• Ground flaxseed (optional)
• Salt

Stir until everything is evenly combined.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

Pour in:

• Oil
• Honey

Mix well until all the dry ingredients are coated. This is what helps create those delicious crunchy clusters.

Step 4: Spread and Bake

Spread the honey almond granola evenly onto your prepared baking sheet. Press it down slightly if you like chunkier granola.

Bake for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the granola is golden brown and fragrant.

Step 5: Cool the Honey Almond Granola Completely

This is important — let the granola cool completely before storing. It will continue to crisp up as it cools.

Storage Tips

Store granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts that long).

Ways to Customize Your Granola

Once cooled, you can mix in extras like:

• Dried cranberries or raisins
• Chocolate chips
• Freeze-dried strawberries
• Chia seeds or flaxseed
